Researchers, in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, introduce a new mechanism that may finally allow ultralight dark photons to be considered serious candidates for dark matter, with promising ...

For nearly a century, astronomers have watched galaxies spin and the universe expand in ways that visible matter alone cannot explain. The dominant answer has been dark matter, an unseen substance ...

Scientists at Rutgers and collaborators have traced the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe using over 100,000 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies. By studying how these galaxies clustered ...

Dark matter remains one of science's greatest mysteries, possibly making up 85% of all matter in the universe. Despite decades of research, its exact nature is unknown. One leading candidate to ...

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...
